Whether it'll be worth it to port Haiku for IA-64, you ask? Now, that I

better, if not good (and legitimate), question! I'm going to have to
answer that with a
question of my own: In what way could it possibly hurt? My message was a
call to IA-64
system/hardware owners and enthusiasts, not a business proposition.
After all, this is a
F/OSS project, isn't it?
Then do it. No one here is saying that quality code contributions for
IA-64 won't be accepted... just that no one cares enough to at the moment
to put the time in to make it happen. If you *really* want native IA-64
support, put the code in and make it happen (e.g. open source).
Personally in reflection I feel that PowerPC has a better chance of
getting implemented officially just because more people have access to the
hardware.
Thanks!
